11/10          2 CORINTHIANS 3:1-4

1 Are we beginning to praise ourselves again? Are we like others, who need to bring you letters of recommendation, or who ask you to write such letters on their behalf? Surely not! 2 The only letter of recommendation we need is you yourselves. Your lives are a letter written in our hearts; everyone can read it and recognize our good work among you. 3 Clearly, you are a letter from Christ showing the result of our ministry among you. This “letter” is written not with pen and ink, but with the Spirit of the living God. It is carved not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts. 4 We are confident of all this because of our great trust in God through Christ. 

TRUST

Our life is based on trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.  We believe.  We live.  We are traveling homeward bound every day.  Home to Jesus. 

11/09          1 CORINTHIANS 2:3-5

3 I came to you in weakness—timid and trembling. 4 And my message and my preaching were very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit. 5 I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God. 

WISDOM

We think we have the insight,

To lead our lives and do our thing.

We don’t, it’s just a mirage, because we are passing away. 

Day by day life slips away, no matter what we do,

Time cannot be controlled.  How much better to bend the knee.

Give our life to make us free.  Living under God’s hand, Jesus our Savior.  

Trust in the Lord.  Let Him lead your way.  He’s given you gifts and skills,To care for others, holding their hand as you navigate each day. 

11/08          PHILIPPIANS 3:3-5

3 For we who worship by the Spirit of God are the ones who are truly circumcised. We rely on what Christ Jesus has done for us. We put no confidence in human effort, 4 though I could have confidence in my own effort if anyone could. Indeed, if others have reason for confidence in their own efforts, I have even more! 5 I was circumcised when I was eight days old. I am a pure-blooded citizen of Israel and a member of the tribe of Benjamin—a real Hebrew if there ever was one! I was a member of the Pharisees, who demand the strictest obedience to the Jewish law. 

SPIRIT

We live, move and breathe in the Spirit of the Lord God Almighty.  His salvation gives us spiritual life, relationship, mentoring, and brings us into His presence.  Jesus is Lord.  

11/07          PHILIPPIANS 4:13

13 For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. 

ALL

All covers everything in my life.  I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.  I do not look to my own understanding but instead trust in Jesus to give me wisdom I need for living, intervene when I’m going the wrong way and never leave me.  Jesus is my strength.  Jesus is my all.  

11/06          PSALM 27:3

3 Though a mighty army surrounds me, my heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident. 

SAFETY

We have safety in Jesus.  He will never leave us.  We are just passing through this World on the road to our home in Heaven prepared by Jesus for us.  Praise God from whom all blessings flow.  

11/05          PSALM 20:7

7 Some nations boast of their chariots and horses, but we boast in the name of the LORD our God. 

LORD

Lord God Almighty, Creator, Sustainer, Eternal, Omniscient, Omnipotent, and He loves us, me!  We boast in the NAME of the Lord God Almighty for He is indeed Lord.  God is good.  God is perfect.  

11/04          PROVERBS 3:32

32 Such wicked people are detestable to the LORD, but he offers his friendship to the godly.

FRIEND

I am a friend of God.  Jesus is my Lord and Savior.  Jesus, the Lord God Almighty and the Holy Spirit are friends and have given me the right to build a friendship with them.  Jesus is Lord.  

11/03          PROVERBS 3:26

26 for the LORD is your security. He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap. 

TRUST

Trust the Lord and He will do it.  He will keep you safe.  He will go before you and guide you on the right path.  His mercies are new each morning.  

11/02          1 JOHN 4:17

17 And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. 

LIVE

We live like Jesus the Son of God.  He is our model for living.  We claim His name as our Lord and Savior.  Jesus is Lord.  We follow Him and will go to be with Him forever one day!

11/01          PHILIPPIANS 1:6

1 This letter is from Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus. I am writing to all of God’s holy people in Philippi who belong to Christ Jesus, including the elders and deacons. 

HOLY PEOPLE

You are Holy People.  God’s righteousness is filling you.  You are a new creature in Christ.  Holy People!
